Introduction

The DynamicDataManager control provides the glue between the data-bound control, the data source control, and Dynamic Data in the following ways:

Sets a field generator for the data-bound control to create the correct column set when AutoGenerateColumns is set to true. The data-bound control can be a GridView control, a DetailsView control, or a FormView control.
Sets the context type and table name for the data source control. The data source control for LINQ-to-SQL is LinqDataSource. The data source control for the ADO Entity Framework is EntityDataSource.
Sets the AutoGenerateWhereClause to true for the data source if there is no Where clause.
Expands the special dynamic parameters such as DynamicControlParameter into parameters that the data source can consume.
If the LINQ-to-SQL AutoLoadForeignKeys property is set to true, loads the foreign keys.

The DynamicDataManager control must be included on a page in order for data controls to use Dynamic Data support. The markup for the DynamicDataManager control must precede the markup for any controls that use Dynamic Data support.

Note
A DynamicDataManager control cannot be put inside an UpdatePanel control.
